Looking nice. Whats that building behind the Paint Shop?

 

[Jamie@ScoutMotors]

That is a utilities building. It went up quickly over the last six weeks.

Was curious, so went and got two photos to compare.

Paint shop is pretty much fully enclosed, body shop has been significantly expanded (doubled??), as has assembly, and now there is almost a utility building.

Cool to see. Has SM shared annual production goals?

 

[OIBScout]

Thanks, Jamie!

I think the only numbers we have seen are the "Peak Capacity" numbers of 200k/yr. Which while fantastic, are probably a little generous for the first year. I am going to bench mark it off of Rivian (similar size of EV - Truck/Large SUV) and they got 25k for their first year I believe?

I’ll call and say first full 12 months will be 52,000. Do we have a pot we are all venmo’ing too

So first year to complete current reservations (not counting cancellations)?

"Crews have now moved more than 16 million cubic yards of dirt and continue grading"

That's a lot of dirt! I hope they're making an incredible off-road park while they're moving all that dirt...

12 months of straight sales. I don’t want them starting in July only to get 7 months of sales. First day of customer delivery to 364 days later.
I think it may be higher but gonna play it safe

They’re supposed to be. That’s like 100 vertical feet of grade change across that site. Absolutely amazing

Honestly, if they can hit 52k in the first year that would be phenomenal. I think the main concern then would be their ability to service the cars when/if problems do arise (see Rivian and their service center backlog).

That would be pretty amazing rampup if that happened. But 50k seems like quite a lot for a first year run of a new model from a new brand. I wouldn't be surprised if it was lower.

The Cybertruck just sold 38k in its first full year. They could have produced more (and maybe did ), as they were cutting production at the end of the year.

I’ll take 38k and a superior build quality/reputation then the cybertruck for the first year tbh

And the price of the cyber truck and polarizing looks didn’t help their sales either. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but personally I can’t stand them. There’s approximately 5 or so cruising around Lancaster County and can’t say I like any of them. Did see one in a dark red-color was nice but still a hard no from my end of things

I’ve seen a couple, one black wrapped. I kind of like seeing them but I like seeing others with them, wouldn’t actually want it myself!
